5)    Sect 4.4. Syntax of ID in trace

The discussion on this issue gave a fairly clear consensus forming
around changing "string" to "atom". However it was pointed out that this
needs to be "dot-string" instead of "atom".

A dot-string has never before been permitted there by the syntax. However
I see a number of dot-string style ID fields in my email so this change
would be blessing existing practice, and I think it's fairly harmless.
